The Demon of Rock is back - Gene Simmons presents a new series of I Love It Loud on BBC Radio 2.

Gene Simmons, co founder of the most successful recording rock band in America - KISS - returns to Radio 2 to play more of the music that 'makes my blood boil', Classic Rock.

In this episode, Gene features tracks artists such as Alice Cooper, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden, and Twisted Sister.

He also has fun with a new feature 'Gene Splicing' where he mashes up hard rock and heavy metal covers of old standards, this week highlighting Megadeth's version of Nancy Sinatra's These Boots Were Made For Walking.

Throughout the series Gene recollects personal encounters with the artists featured, sometimes as a colleague such as when Jimi Hendrix's engineer produced KISS's first demos.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
